## Description

RCBS 9474 PRIMER POCKET SWAGER, BENCH TOOL

Review: Its from RCBS hard to beat its value. - Very well made, easy to setup for the brand of brass you are doing(slight variation between brass case heads make sorting by brand worth your time), once it is setup the pockets always get swagged exactly as they need to be. Using a swagger on the pocket is way better than cutting out the crimp. It works the brass a touch more, but you are not removing part of the pockets, and at least for me it is very easy to end up removing way too much brass on the pockets causing the brass to wear out way quicker. Swagging fixed that issue, at least for me.
Review: Dedicated tool - Tool requires mounting to a solid surfaced as the decrimping action requires some level of force to operate. I mounted the tool to a 1x12x8 inch board which I can screw to a work bench or clamp down Easy to adjust and set up for large or small primer pockets. Pleased with the tool and find it fast, effective and of good quality. Only con is that it takes up bench space.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is the tool actually made?**
A: Hello Jason.  Well, nowhere on the swager does it say China or Taiwan or Japan.  It says made in U.S. A. in Oroville, California.  It is made of cast aluminum and looks very high quality.  It is well finished, no burs or rough cuts.  Bolts and nuts are all quality.  The size is a little deceiving though.  It looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is.  Mine is 6 1/4 inches long.  I think it will definitely have to be bolted down to the work bench.  Is it worth $118 bucks?  Yes because the other methods for un-swagging primer pockets on military brass can leave the pocket enlarged and cause the primer to unseat or blow out, from my past experience.  There are other tools which mount in a single stage press that would probably do the same function.  I would recommend this RCBS tool.  Jimmy Fielding, U.S. Army Retired

**Q: does this come with everything to swage 5.56 and 308 or will i have to buy more parts**
A: Billy,It comes with two rods needed for swaging 5.56/.223 and .308.  I have this model and it works fine.  Most NATO military brass coming from military ammo factories like Lake City have crimped primers and they will need to be swaged.  It's not a particularly easy step to go through, but it is a necessary step or you will destroy a lot of primers in the process of loading this stuff.  Hope this helps.Dave

**Q: Will it work on 3006 brass?**
A: Yes it will work on 30-06 brass.

**Q: Do I need to buy a uniformer also? Or anything else?**
A: All this tool does is remove the crimp so new primers can be installed. You don't need a uniformer unless you just want to. It comes with rods to fit 22cal and 308cal.
